Top 25 of 2016: #4 Pernille Blume

Pernille Blume had a wonderful 2016. The 22 year old Danish swimmer won two Olympic medals in Freestyle. One in Gold at 50m and one at Bronze in 4X100m Medley relay. The Gold was Denmarks first in the pool since 1948. As a consequence Pernille was the flag bearer at the closing ceremony for the Danes. Pernille first featured on the site in December 2014, and has also featured a best of Instagram feature. Pernille is one of HWiS most popular girls, culminating a special Gallery made of all of the various pictures we have featured.
